GEARING THE MORAL Atmosphere.

The New York Esening Post thinks that
the rendering OF the verdict and the tax
ing of the appeal in the case of the con-
demned Anarchists considerably cleared
the moral atmosphere. Perhaps it has,
for it has demonstrated the ability of So
ciety to punish this new class Of offenders
But the atmosphere is still murky, and
will SO remain until the American people
have risen equal to the task Of restricting
the so-called liberties, and so narrowing
the rights" q Anarchists that they can
be prevented, snder the law, from preach
ing rebellion and advising murder and
arson. The country must come TO that
eventually The Post declares that it is
shown that society is able to defend itself
against these infamous wFetches. But that
is not enough. 1t must manifest the abil-
ity to prevent, as wei as to'defend. The
Anarchists, it is true are a mere fraction,
and very minute fraction Of the commu-
mites of the nation, but their present ina
bility to do great harm is no reason thz1
even the few should he privileged to advise
men to do murder, conjure them to fire
cities, or attempt to organize any number
of them into forces 30 make war upon
property, All such preaching and teach
ing can be prescribed, without endangering
free speech, the liberty of the press, or
freedom of conscience.

SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY.
A Display of the Most Substantial and
Attractive Kind.

This county is one of the richest and
most substantial producing counties in the
State. Its exhibit occ1pies the northwest
conservatory space Of tbe Pavilion, and the
display is arranged with extreme good
taste and effectiveness. Over the entrance
to the exhibit are the words "San JOAQUIN
County" neatly and plainly worked out
with wheat heads upon maroon colored
velvet. Upon the wall, in rear of the. ex-
hibit, is magnificent representation of a
complete harvester, the figure being 10x14
feet IN dimensions. 1t is worked out with
various kinds of grain heads upon a wire
screen, which covers space IA by a feet.
1t is most unique and artistic piece of
work, and worthily attracts a great deal of
attention and admiring comment. The
piece was the thought of Mrs. W. D.
Ashley, and after being sketched upon wire
by G. y. Freeman, of Stockton, was worked
out with grain heads into perfect form and
colors by Miss Alice Ashley, Mrs Alice
Adams and others. 1t took three weeks OF
steady work for the ladies engaged mon
it, and they have executed a fine piece of
art work. 1t is framed with small sheafs
OF barley, neatly worked into form around
the border of the screen.
The next TO catch the eye as specially at
tractive in the county's exhibit is the dis
play of grain, which is arranged into most
pleasing and effective form. This part of
the county display was the work of j. d.
Hoffman. The grain is put up in large
bundles with shorter ones on the outside.
and standing higher as the center is ap,
preached. Around the base are sacks of
grain OF different kinds, of largest and
most perfect kernel. Another portion of
the wall is decorated with alternate bun
dies of wheat and corn, giving a very
pleasing effect. The corn is very tall, and
of equal merit as to quality with the
wheat.
An excellent display of hops, both on
the vines and in bales, is made, showing
the best quality of this product, and which
grows in San Joaquin most prolifcly.
A sample of Kaifir corn, planted May 10,
1881, by w. P. Eddy, who resides five miles
north of Lodi, is exhibited growing in a
box. and is an object OF much interest. A.
J. Pittman thus speaks of Kaffir corn in
the Field, Farm and St0ckmGa, published in
Chicago:
1.-The name Kaffir Corn would indicate
Kaffraria,' or Kaffir land, South Africa,
as its origin. The seed are nearly white,
with purple spot, one thousand seeds to
the ounce. They are little larger than
orange sorghum seed. Two-tbirds of the
seeds are exposed. and the heads need only
to be thrown to horses. cattle, hogs and

THE STATE BOARD OF TRADE.

The State Board of Trade appears
through its Executive Committee to be
taking hold of the scheme of its creation
with commendable yigor The Board will
find no difficulties, We apprehend in secur-
ing ample aid from the counties OF Central
and Northern California, since the people
we believe are convinced that the machin-
cry of the organization will not be used to
advance private or foreign ends. In the
past, the central and northern sections paid
ont money to agencies supposed to be i'm
partial and acting for the best interests of
all the counties, but it developed that the
funds sent from this city, for instance, were
not wisely disbursed to put it very mildly,
but really went to aid the building up of
sections far distant and to advance schemes
not impartial in character. Indeed, the
telegraphic report is that at the meeting
of the Executive Committee of the
State Board Of Trade in San Francisco
on "Wednesday, the committee was told
by gentleman intelligent upon the sub
Ject, that Sacramento money contributedto

cordial support of al the counties appealed
TO. Evidently il ia not "r,tn" by one or
two individuals; but It's affairs are admin-
istered by representative body, and che
names Of its Directors are guarantees for
fair deaiing. Moreover, the seIf-interest
of the Board viii all tend to make it i'm
partial, and TO the direction of Its efforts
for the equal and mutual benefit Of all the
counties it represents.

nal expressed its faith in the scheme upon
which it was projected. 1t has not had
reason to modify its Judgment. The man
ner in which it has gone to work strength
ems confidence in it. II ought to have, and
we believe Will have, generous support,
and that the output of its energies will re-
suit in substantial and speedy benefit to
all the counties interested, is not TO be
doubted.

BOTH SAIL AND ANCHOR.

When Macaulay said of the American
Constitution, it is all sail and no anchor"
he reasoned according to a supposed sound
logical formul'e, that ought by this time
TO have developed a conclusion in con-
formity with his Judgment.
But we have Just celebrated the CEN
tenary Of the American Constitution and
it is sailing" more safely to-day than in
any prior time. 1t has weathered a ter
rible storm since Macaulay predicted, and
put down anchors that held firmly.
Macaulay looked on and uttered his
prophecy when the nation was gathering
itself together for a giant struggle to solve
gigantic problem. The struggle came,
was ended; the solution Of the problem
worked out, and the Constitution weighed
anchor and filled its sails once more, and
the great historians logicwent to pieces.
Could he have OWNED, as he did not,
the depth Of patriotism of the national
heart, the latent strength of American
purpose, the supreme devotion of the
American people to the principles Of free
government, he would not have esteemed
the American Government 50 i'll con-
constructed. The plane upon which the
civil war was fought out was that of
Federal unionism, the very thing in
which Macaulay deemed us lacking.
1t was struggle to determine the cohe-
sive power in a Federal Union of sovereign
States, a principle that is the sheet anchor
Of the constitutional government. As John
Fiske has so well put it, we 'have demon
strated how military power NAV be
welded, when necessary, by people that
has passed entirely from the military into
the industrial stage of civilization, and the
result has fatsifed all the predictions that
were drawn from the contemplation OF
societies less advanced politically" That
is to say, we have demonstrated what
Macaulay believed to be impossible, that
all political questions, however moment
Gus, can be adjusted under our system by
constitutional methods, and that no mem
Der of the Federal Union can, by attempted
Withdrawal, prevent such settlement.
So it happens that, though less than n
half a century ago the most brilliant OF
English historians and one of the foremost
minds of Great Britain estimated our Con-
stitution to be all sail and no anchor
to-day, when the hundredth year of the
Constitutions lite has been rounded out,
another great Englishman-John Bright
looking back over the century of test of
Federal unionism, declares "that the
conclusion of . hundred years of successful
political existence under the American
Constitution must lie regarded by all the
civilized world as one of the most i'm
portant events in the annals of mankind
And Gladstone, the foremost of living
English statesmen and publicists, pro-
nounces our original charter to be d" the
most remarkable work known to modern
times to have been produced by human
intellect at single stroke, so to speak, in
its application to political affairs"

" The best manure for land is the foot OF
its owner" The former backwardness of
the beautiful South, with her broad acres of
naturally productive soil, as compared with
the material advancement of the vigorous
North, was not owing to her former institu-
ton of human slavery, now happily ended
IN this country forever, any more than it
was to the immense plantations then held

the many to scure lands there,
